Avalon Academy IC

[Dorni]

Being right next to the tentacles meant Anthony got the full dose from the screaming tentacles, and he recoiled with his hands on his ears. When the scream ended Anthony was woozy on his feet with his ears still ringing from the horrible horribleness. But it wasn't just that. Anthony was indestructible, knew he was all but invulnerable. He hadn't been out of the pod long, but he'd been subjected to all manner of tests first by the Worthies then by the academy staff, and he knew that he was far tougher than any test they'd throw at the students. Even the spider they'd run into earlier hadn't really been able to hurt him.

This abomination's scream pierced right through that since of invincibility. Moments ago Anthony had regarded this monster as just another ugly, quaint little guard dog. Something to be wary of, sure, but not to be worried about. Anthony wasn't recoiling purely from the horrible wail. It was the psychic pain and the realization that this abomination could threaten him.

Then the moment of mortality gave way to another conviction.

Lionheart wouldn't let this stop him.

Anthony let go of his ears and drove forward, charging the screaming tentacle and swung one open hand at the tentacle like a karate chop. True, calling it a karate chop would have probably offended anyone with real knowledge of martial arts, but the raw power of the all-out charge backing it up more than made up for the lack of technique. "You think we're scared of where you came from? This world is our home field!"
